FOR YOUR INFORMATION
WELCOME to a Sabbath celebration. We rejoice because Jesus lived without sin and rose from death on the cross. As we celebrate His
life today, may we know His renewing power in our lives. Let us go from this place to share with others the good news of His salvation.
THE OFFERING during the worship services today is for our local Church Budget. An average of $25,600 is needed each month to
provide for the needs of all departments of our church. Your consistent support will help to provide these needs. Donations for offerings

GOLDEN HERITAGE CLUB is off again to the Rosebud Theatre on April 8, 2015. We will leave the College Heights Church at 8:00
a.m. so be sure to arrive at 7:30 a.m. The coach will be stopping at Royal Oak to collect everyone, and also in Red Deer. The play is the
true story of Helen Keller, a little girl who was blind and deaf and how her teacher Annie Sullivan, with perseverance and patience,
released her from a world of darkness and silence. I think that it is also a story about the miracle to the human mind and how much we
can accomplish at any age. To reserve your place call Bob Bruce at 403-782-5737.
